“I have no time!” How many times have you heard someone say this? How many times have you heard yourself say this? I know I have. More than once. The truth is, when something is important to us, we will make the time. The lie we tell ourselves is that it has to be a […]

One Way Ticket.
I love books. I can spend hours in the library or at Indigo browsing, borrowing, buying and reading books. A well-written book is a work of art. Just over a week ago, I had the great privilege of reading “The Faith Club” by Ranya Idliby, Suzanne Oliver, and Priscilla Warner who just so happen to […]
I Am A Jerk.
a personal reflection dated May 14th, 2013 I am torn. In the other room is my amazing husband whom I love and who I hear laughing while enjoying a show. And in our bedroom, I sit thinking, wondering, and contemplating all that is within me. You see, I love life. I think it’s fascinating with all of […]

Performance Enhancers.
Last week, I introduced you to the infamous team of Robbers in town whose sole mission in life is to Rob you of your joy, self-dignity, and confidence.

Beware of Robbers
There’s a new team of robbers in town. Actually, they’ve been around for a while. Their mission is to rob you of your joy and happiness and keep you from living a life you love. It’s sad really, that this team exists. “Who are they?” you ask. I will gladly introduce you to them in […]
A Summer Cool Down
It’s hot outside so this should cool you down. Thanks to my genius friend Matt Tod who shared this quote, which I among many happen to agree with. You decide for yourself. ”Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure that you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assholes.” ~ […]
I can…I am…I will…
I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do. -Helen Keller Today is a day like no other…if you let it. You and I have the capacity […]
The Moments In Between.
I am dying…and I am unafraid. The thing with dying is it challenges you to savour each moment, cherish the time you spend with your loved ones and confronts you with the here and now, and all that you hold close. I am dying…and I am ok with it. See a while ago when I […]
Free Admission
I, Joann Lim, am perfectly imperfect. I make mistakes. I am wrong sometimes. The more I know, the more I realize I don’t know. I am unrealistically realistic. I am my biggest critic. I am also my biggest motivator. Sometimes my plans don’t turn out the way I think they will. That’s ok. They often […]
